The Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi farms 98 hectares across 35 Burgundy climats spanning the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise (about 65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay), from its historic château base at Santenay.
The 2022 opens up with a lifted nose of strawberries, amarena cherries and orange zest, the oak ageing is discreet with a prickle of black pepper, a whiff of smoke and sandalwood. Real freshness on the palate, and the red fruit open up to show a touch of mint.
